Abstract
We previously showed that the brown trout possesses UV-sensitive cones in its retina that are lost in 2-year-old fish. However, present investigations reveal that in the narrow growth zone along the periphery and the ventral embryonic fissure, the formation of these cones continues in trout and salmon.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
